Python Operators

Python Operators

In Python Programming, operators in general functions will perform operations on values and variables. These operators are considered as the standard symbol which functions for logical and arithmetic operations.

Let us check out this article to learn more about the different types of Python Operators.

What are Operators in Python?

Python and several programming languages have different types of operators which are the symbol and even referred to as keywords. They will do operations on one or more operands.

These operators will offer different operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Types Of Operators in Python

a. Arithmetic Operator

b. Comparison Operator

c. Assignment Operator

d. Logical Operator

e. Bitwise Operators

f. Membership Operators

g. Identity Operators

Python Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic Operators mainly function to do basic mathematical operations. Hence, the variable will have 10 and the variable b has 20.

Operator	Name	Example
+	Addition	a + b = 30
–	Subtraction	a – b = -10
*	Multiplication	a * b = 200
/	Division	b / a = 2
%	Modulus	b % a = 0
**	Exponent	a**b =10**20
//	Floor Division	9//2 = 4

Python Comparison Operators

These operators have values on either side of them and can analyze the relation between them. These are also known as Relational Operators.

Suppose variable a has 10 and variable b has 20

Operator	Name	Example
==	Equal	(a == b) is not true.
!=	Not equal	(a != b) is true.
>	Greater than	(a > b) is not true.
<	Less than	(a < b) is true.
>=	Greater than or equal to	(a >= b) is not true.
<=	Less than or equal to	(a <= b) is true.

Python Assignment Operators

Assignment operators will provide values to several variables. Python assignment operators table is provided below

Operator	Example	Same As
=	a = 10	a = 10
+=	a += 30	a = a + 30
-=	a -= 15	a = a – 15
*=	a *= 10	a = a * 10
/=	a /= 5	a = a / 5
%=	a %= 5	a = a % 5
**=	a **= 4	a = a ** 4
//=	a //= 5	a = a // 5
&=	a &= 5	a = a & 5
|=	a |= 5	a = a | 5
^=	a ^= 5	a = a ^ 5
>>=	a >>= 5	a = a >> 5
<<=	a <<= 5	a = a << 5

Python Bitwise Operators

Bitwise Operator will perform on bits and functions bit by bit operations. Moreover, these operations will compare binary numbers.

Operator	Name	Example
&	AND	a & b
|	OR	a | b
^	XOR	a ^ b
~	NOT	~a
<<	Zero fill left shift	a << 3
>>	Signed right shift	a >> 3

Python Logical Operators

These operators will further compile more than 2 conditions and monitor the final result. The logical operators which are provided here will support the Python language.

Operator	Name	Example
and	AND	a and b
or	OR	a or b
not	NOT	not(a)

Python Membership Operators

These operators will test for membership in a sequence like the strings, lists, or tuples.

Operator	Description	Example
in	Returns True if it finds a variable in the specified sequence, false otherwise.	a in b
not in	an in b	a not in b

Python Identity Operators

Identity operators will compare the memory locations of two objects. Those identity operators are given below

Operator	Description	Example
is	Returns True if both variables are the same object and false otherwise.	a is b
is not	Returns True if both variables are not the same object and false otherwise.	a is not b

Python Operators Precedence

The table below has operators from the highest precedence to the lowest.

Sr.No.	Operator & Description
1	**Exponentiation (raise to the power)
2	~ + –Complement, unary plus and minus (method names for the last two are +@ and -@)
3	* / % //Multiply, divide, modulo and floor division
4	+ –Addition and subtraction
5	>> <<Right and left bitwise shift
6	&Bitwise ‘AND’
7	^ |Bitwise exclusive `OR’ and regular `OR’
8	<= < > >=Comparison operators
9	<> == !=Equality operators
10	= %= /= //= -= += *= **=Assignment operators
11	is is notIdentity operators
12	in not inMembership operators
13	not or andLogical operators

Conclusion

To conclude, this article will educate us on the different types of Python operators. Python Arithmetic Operators, Python Bitwise operators, Python Logical operators, and several other operators are included in this.
